Lyrics
Lay Down With Me, Barbara
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Leaves are rustling
Rustling in the sultry evening breeze
I don't wear pyjamas
Trust me darling, you don't need that chemise
I know it's hard to love a man like me
But you do so with the greatest of ease
We created tender love from scratch
Don't you think it's time we made another batch?
Oh, lay down with me, barbara
Underneath the candelabra
Oh, lay down with me, barbara
Or I will die
I will surely die
Who needs moonlight?
Moonlight's rubbish anyway, my dear
When the clouds obscure it
I'll look upon you 'neath the chandelier
Let us not waste a precious moment blindly
Fumbling with the clasp of your brassiere
We created tender love from scratch
Don't you think it's time we made another batch?
Oh, lay down with me, barbara
Underneath the candelabra
Oh, lay down with me, barbara
Or I will die
I will surely die
Oh, lay down with me, barbara
Underneath the candelabra
Oh, lay down with me, barbara
Or I will die
I will surely die
Surely die
Just bury me, barbara
Bury me in a coffin full of money
And I'll love you throughout the afterlife
I love you girl
